Carlton: Today we finished reading "The Ransom of Red Chief" and discussed the literary technique of irony. We also took the spelling test for the DMS spelling bee.
Tomorrow, students will be given a packet which will detail the writing review project. This project will be due next Friday, 12/16. The purpose of the project is to help students review the two genres of writing we have worked on, and to practice their skills in these genres. I have attached a copy of the directions and examples below.
